Welcome to "The world's shortest-form writing contest." As you know, the digital era has reduced attention spans significantly. Everything,
it seems, must be delivered quickly and with great effect. Strong writing requires one to be concise--with each and every word carefully crafted. The added burden of making someone laugh makes it all far more challenging. A 140-character count is the perfect forum to stage this skill set. That's why I'm using Twitter to find great writers who can deliver "the funniest 140-character tweet." This will be an ongoing contest. Future themes will include "The most boring 140-character tweet," "The darkest 140-character tweet," and "The most esoteric 140-character tweet." Thank you for participating.
